Early this morning The Smash Bros. Dojo blog finally updated with something that got me excited for the game. No, it’s not another new, old character. It wasn’t an item either, or even a board. It was updated with the types of controllers that the game is compatible with. A collective sigh of relief was heard by fanboys across the world (myself included) with the sight of the GameCube controller. Recent interweb rumors have led to the idea that the Wii-mote would be the primary input device for the game. While it is still an option, it looks like gamers will have the choice for a more precise game with either the GameCube Controller or the Classic Controller, and potentially limited functionality with the sideways Wii remote. It'd be a safe bet to start scouring stores for a Wavebird (the greatest controller ever made) for a little wireless Mario butt-kicking.
